Hostage

[DJ Pat]

For those of you sceptics, this film has been deliberately written to be unlike any other hostage film ever.

And boy, does it succeed in doing so.

Check it out.

What's it about?

Haunted by his failure to save a child from a suicidal madman, hostage negotiator Jeff Tally leaves Los Angeles to become police chief of upscale suburb Bristo Camino. But the ghosts of Tally's previous field come back to haunt him when two brothers and their mysterious traveling companion Mars Krupchek take a suburbanite family hostage.

Unbenknownst to the gunmen, their hostage is actually a numbers runner for West Coast Mafia kingpin Sonny Benza, and the house contains evidence that could put him away. Facing heat from associates in New York, Benza kidnaps Tally's wife and daughter and blackmails him into procuring the incriminating evidence. But the situation escalates even further when Tally discovers that Mars is a serial killer who is eyeing the hostages, and possibly his accomplices, to be his next victims. A rousing finale with an ending that nobody would ever guess.

TV Forum? Maybe because the movie will play in local BKK cinemas it's related to things about Thailand or is it because Bruce once visited Thailand? Now that you've mastered djing you've gone and become a movie critic?

I thought the opening scene with the hero losing his hostage and it haunting him until the 'character' development has him 'face his demon' was a real cliche. As was the dvd thing ..... Sorry but I found nothing new here.

The final scene turned out to be very cheesy if you ask me, although the B man has come a long way from moonlighting

Why don't we have a movie section,then people can post the endings to films that other people are waiting to see, so it would save them all that bother of going to the cinema. And I'm speaking from experience after my Million Dollar Baby boob. Or was it Baby with a Million Boobs? or even The Million Dollar Boobs?

You don't honestly think that I'm capable of coming up with that sort of review do you?

I liked the film and thought some of you may do as well.

Yes, you're right. I we should have known better. You don't happen to know who wrote it do you?
